Sketch OF His Career at the Bar. in

islat0r.
Washington special,


Justice William b. Woods, of the United
States Supreme Court, died here on Satur-
day. He had been unable from dropsical
and kidney troubles to perform any judicial
duties for nearly year, and spent the fall
and winter in California. William 3.
woods was born in Newark, Ohio, sixty
one or two years ago, graduated at Yale
College in 1916, and began the practice
OF law in Ohio in 1877. From 1857 to
1861 he was Democratic member of the
state House of Representatives, and for one
term was the Speaker. When the war broke
out he entered the Federal service. and
went to the front as Lieutenant Colonel of
the Seventy sixth Ohio Infantry, and
served through tho war with that resiment,
beng mustered out of the service with the
grade of Brlgadier and brevet Major Cen
erai. He Immediately settled down in
Alabama, and was chosen State Chancellor
for term Of six years. In 1869, while he
was resident of Mobile, President Grant
appointed him United States Circuit Judge
for the Fifth Circuit. When Justice Strong
retired from the Supreme Court in Decem-
Der, 1880, President Hayes appointed Judge
Woods, then living in Atlanta. his sue
cessor. Although he was carpet Dagger
In the South and the Senate was Demo-

his nomination fayorably, and there were
but eight votes AGAINST his confirmation. A

poinment. Immediately upon his nomina-

Injury from the Drouth.

lp1Olu IAC S4ACt16O A11OuuS.J
Drouth in the grain fields of the Missis-
sippi Valley was the one great topic of
conversation in commercial circles Tues
day, and it materially influenced the course
of prices for the leading cereals. The
ground is very dry in the Southwest, and
to this is superadded the appearance of the
chinch-bug in Kansas, while the news
from the great spring wheat regions of the
Northwest was very bad, the crop prospects
in the fertile Red River Valley being de-
scribed as poor indeed. Grass seeds and
hay, as well as oats, corn, and wheat,
promise but q scanty yield, unless there be
8 speedy change in the conditions. And
in some cases the season is too far ad-
vanced to permit reasonable hope Of full
crop. The time for spring showers has
gone by, and the good, vigorous root,
which is possible only when moisture has
been supplied during the early stages Of
growth, is hardly to be expected now, the
Indications being regarded as decidedly
untavorable to an average yield in proper
ton to acreage. Our street markets show
the effects of the unusual dryness in other
directions. The strawberry patches in
Mississippi are desiccated to the extent of
the fruit unmark etable, while the
dusty appearance of the berries received
from Tennessee tells of almost equal
drouth in that State.

Justice Woods Vacant Seat


Some pretty shrewd and well-informed
Democrats here are confident that Attorney
General Garland will be appointed to sue
coed Justice Woods. They put the thing
in this way: If the President had been
dissatisfied with the course of the Attorney
General during the last two years. he would
have got him out of the Cabinet. His re-
tention of him is evidence that lie is en-
tirely satisfied with the uprightness Of his
conduct. That being SO, the Attorney
General has been prosecuted, and
the President is under some obliga-
ton to vindicate him, or at least he may be
supposed to be anxious to do SO. Besides,
there would be fine stroke OF politics in
putting the Attorney General on the SUI
preme bench. The attacks on Mr.. Gar
land have been to large extent attacks on
the administration. The vindication of
the administration. If nominated, MIR.
Garland would certainly be confirmed, and
if he were promoted from the Cabinet to
the Supreme Court the administration
would be vindicated Mt the point where it
has been most sharply assailed. Secretary
Endicott has been suggested, but no one can
really expect that the President would APP
points Massachusetts man in the Southern
circuit. Speaker Carlisle has been men
toned, but it is believed that his ambitions
are political rather than judicial. He does
not live in the Fifth Circuit. and there is
already one Kentuckian on the bench.
Senators Pugh and George have been
spoken of. Both are members of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, and Senator
George has been Chief Justice of Missis-
sippi. Both live in the Fifth Circuit, but
George is sixty years of age and Pugh is
sixty-six. The name of Secretary Bayard
is freely spoken of in connection with the
vacancy.

with the gentleness of an experienced
nurse. One of his relatives, who was often
the companion of these drives, still lives.
She tells US of the ex rtions he would make
to entertain and amuse his mother, assur-
ing her. with the gravity of an old man,
that unless she was cheerful the drive would
not benefit her.
When he left her to go to West Point,
his mother said: slow can I live without

General Lees first teacher was Mr.. w.
B. Leary, an Irish gentleman, learned and
very efficient as teacher. Under his tut
ton the future General acquired knowl-
edge of and fondness for the classics. The
master and pupil were warm friends
throughout life. When it was decided that
he was to so to West Point he entered the
school Of MIR. BENJAMIN Hallowell, who
was for many years o teacher in Alexandria,
in order to perfect himself in mathematics.
Mr.. Hallowell, though strong Unionist
during the war, always spoke enthusiastic
ally Of Lee.
He was eighteen years old when he en-
tered West Point, where he was favorite
with cadets. professors and officers, and
was graduated second in an unusually bril-
liant class, without ever having received a.
single demerit. Soon after he was called
to the deathbed of his mother, whom he.
nursed to her dying hour with the tender.
est devotion. He often said that to her he
"owed everything" The portrait given
herewith was taken soon after the young
officer lett West Point. His career as an
officer in the old army, and as the head OF
the Confederate Army of Northern Vir-
giuia, will be given hereafter.

Mother and Daughter Foully Murdered.
tsteubenville (o.) specially
A shocking double murder was perpe-
trated at Halliday's Cave, Hancock County,
w. Va, on the Pan Handle Road. When
Mr. Van Baker, who left home Monday al
p: m. and spent the night at his fathers,
in Washington County, Pennsylvania, re-
turned Tuesday morning, he found his wife,
Eliza Baker, and her mother Suzelle Nc
Wha, lying dead in the sitting-room with
their heads beaten brutally by car pin.
An az was also lying beside them. Mr..
Baker says the only thing missing
is $3.50 belonging to him. Evidences
OF search are plainly to be seen. The
theory at first given for the murder is that
it was for robbery. Mr.. McWha had few
days ago received several thousand dollars.
and Monday he went to Pittsburgh to de-
post it. His on-in-law, Mr.. Baker, also
being absent that night, it is thought some
one familiar with the situation, but not
knowing that the money was gone, at
tempted robbery, and being discovered and
identified by the women, killed them to
conceal their crime. Mrs. McWha was 70
years old, her daughter about 40. The be-
lief is general that the murderer is some
one familiar with the family.
